Bangalore, June 13: Newgen Software Technologies Ltd, a New Delhi-based IT firm, has bagged a sub-contract to make Rashtrapati Bhawan paperless and "seamless" in the next 2-3 months, a company official said today. "We are executing a project through Wipro to make Rashtrapati Bhawan a paperless office. The project started last month to convert the president's office into a paperless office," Newgen Software Technologies Ltd vice-president (Sales) Punit Jain told reporters here today.

Newgen's two products-- Omniflow, a platform independent, scalable workflow solution that enables automation of organisation business solutions and omnicapture, a production scanning system for high volume paper to image conversion, indexing and filing-- were being used for the project, he said.

"The President's office gets mails, petitions and letters and our solutions help in automating it, which can help in accessing the information whenever it is required from a database," Jain said.

Wipro bagged the order for computerisation of Rashtrapathi Bhawan.

The Rs 35 crore Newgen, Jain said, was the only Indian firm to develop document management, workflow and imaging solutions products and had over 400 people including 300 strong R&D team at Delhi.

Citibank has picked up 18 per cent stake in the firm, promoted by two technocrats, Diwakar Nigam and T S Varadarajan, in 1992.
